“no turning back now… for the people of minnesota,” says lt gov peggy flanagan in st. paul, as she files to get on the ballot for US senate this fall, days after winning the DFL endorsement at the state convention

It was an honor to serve as one of the Assistant Co-Chairs of the DFL State Convention this weekend in Rochester. After 2 long days of work, we leave with a strong slate of DFL endorsed candidates for statewide office and US Senate and completed a ton of important party business.

Angie Craig has announced that she is no longer seeking the DFL endorsement for US Senate. She will run in the primary. Charlie St. Dennis, credentialed reporter on the scene.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office issued a nationwide arrest warrant on Monday for the ICE agent who allegedly shot a Venezuelan immigrant in north Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge and then lied about the circumstances that led to the shooting.

Shout-out to @quentinocama.bsky.social for a great De-escalation training yesterday. If you're a state delegate, I hope you were able to join one of the trainings.

Rep. Kim Hicks deserves all the flowers for getting this through! So proud to be the Senate champion for this bill

I really need to do a better job posting on here — so many apps and so little time 😂😭

Spent the day outside my classroom to join my colleagues at SPFE to talk to legislators about pension parity, a statewide healthcare pool for educators and support staff, and advocating for no cuts to special education and mental health funding. Thanks to all the legislators who met with us today!

Minnesota Republicans recently spoke for 20 minutes on "improving school safety" and not once did they mention guns, school shootings, or gun violence. We haven't forgotten about the 200+ Minnesota children who have been killed by gun violence since 2021.

I’m happy to report that along with @aurinmpls.bsky.social and @angelaconley.bsky.social, I was part of the unanimous vote of the Planning Commission to remove the name of Cesar Chavez from the Minneapolis street carrying his name today.

The DFL has always included a coalition of ideologies aimed at supporting working class people and encouraging them to get involved in grassroots organizing and governance. I'm disappointed that in this political moment, some are seeking to divide rather than unify.

I posted this message elsewhere, but I think it’s important, as a party leader, to clearly call out what thehumphreyproject.com is: a divisive gimmick designed to split our party heading into our state convention. We have so many new people excited to enagnge in our party — we have to do better.

Today we re-endorsed the amazing Erin Murphy today at our Senate District 64 Convention who took the time to read Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? after Lucy dragged it over to her. Incredibly cute moment with our amazing Senator!

Had the privilege of serving as Convention Chair for Senate District 63 today. Thank you to SD63 for letting me guide you throughout this process! We got a lot done in about 6ish hours! 📸 @taylordahlin.com

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

You work hard. You should be able to afford care for your kids. GOP leaders are telling you it's not a priority.

Didn’t she work for someone who is banned for life by the state party for inciting violence? I’m really not interested in hearing her opinion tbh, and any DFLer who reaches out to Alpha News to (nonsescially) attack our party isn't a credible voice (or a real DFLer).

FOX CONFIRMS PAM BONDI OUT AS AG TODD BLANCHE TO BE INTERIM AG

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Just a helpful reminder to everyone: Wednesday is April 1st. If you see a news story or something that looks like a news story that makes you think "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??!??" ...the answer is probably yes, yes they are, that's it exactly.

One year ago today, I became @dfl.org Outreach Officer. Together with many incredible volunteers and leaders across the state, we built new resources, expanded training opportunities, and strengthened our statewide structure to support outreach and inclusion in every unit (1/9)

Today, March 29, is one year since I was elected to lead the MN DFL. During my campaign I made two clear commitments: 1. Hire organizers earlier than ever ✅ 2. Launch a new training program for activists, party leaders, and candidates ✅ 1/

Yikes

I think more conventions need to be doing this! That’s why I put it in my remarks - make it fundamentally clear.

Lots of people seem to have shown up to convention just angry about how things are, without awareness that this WHOLE THING is volunteer driven. Do what I did: if you’re upset with the process, get involved. If you have thoughts, people need to hear your perspective before everything is in place.

Had the privilege of being a convention parliamentarian at SD60 - what a fantastic experience with so many first-time delegates! Long day but worth it to see all this energy in Minneapolis.

We’re halfway through DFL convention season and I’m still out and about — great to be in Hackensack with the Cass County DFL!

Hey just FYI: the person in control of the DFL Progressive Caucus account is not the actual caucus and is someone who hasn't handed back control to the caucus. That's why they're posting homophobic shit.

Democrats should not vote to confirm Markwayne Mullin as Secretary of Homeland Security. He is somehow less qualified than Noem. Democrats should not enable this rogue agency in any way.

Pretty wild to be watching the Minneapolis City Council meeting and see the officer who killed Amir Locke presenting about “officer wellness”. Truly no shame. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

Like I said, brand new rage 😡

Lots of very important boards have openings.

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

MPD Chief Brian O’Hara on the Minneapolis and Brooklyn Center shooting: -Man was released from jail today -Shot and killed two of his cousins, age 12 and 14 in Mpls -7,8,9 and 10 year old and their grandma were also home -The suspect left the scene and then was shot by police in Brooklyn Center

Thank you to everyone who reached out to wish me a happy birthday. It’s been a year of major ups and downs, but I’m grateful for all the kind words and warm wishes — here's to a fantastic 35!

When you really love your community, you don’t give up on it. Real ones love the Twin Cities. It’s good to weed the fake ones out. This definitely isn’t about anyone in particular.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Tomorrow, I’m heading to Washington with educators, labor leaders, and faith leaders to speak directly with members of Congress, the media, and anyone who will listen about the damage operation Metro Surge has inflicted on communities across Minnesota. 1/2

Here are Ramsey County's mug shots for Jake Lang.

Huge turnout in Saint Paul — Ward 1, Precinct 10 at DFL caucuses tonight in SD64; I even got roped in to convene tonight. Lots of energy around the state!

just like how derek chauvin was an MPD trainer

It’s deeply disturbing that after all the trauma students, families, and educators endured following the abduction of Liam Conejo Ramos, even now after he has been freed and safely returned to Minnesota someone appears to be making threats against out of anger that a five-year-old is not imprisoned.

It didn't take very long for it to seem entirely reasonable for a mom to hide her identity while speaking to reporters in order to protect her child's school from being targeted by the secret police. www.youtube.com/shorts/iud0W...

Some quick thoughts on yesterday's ruling in Minnesota v. Noem. open.substack.com/pub/mollycol...

The federal occupation of Minneapolis has devastated our small businesses. Particularly, our immigrant-owned businesses. That’s why I’m working with my colleagues to bring forward a $5 million “Small Business Resiliency Fund” for small businesses impacted by “immigration enforcement”. 1/

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Biery is a very unique judge and, having practiced in his court, I had no clue how this case would go. So glad to see this result.

U.S. District Judge Fred Biery's order, issued Saturday morning, requires that Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias and his son, Liam Conejo Ramos, be released from federal custody while their immigration case proceeds through the court system. Biery's order requires they be released by Tuesday.

oh damn no fuckin way
